Abstract: The subject application relates to a gas arrestor system(s) and/or methodology that facilitate sensing and shutting down a gas-burning appliance via a circuit that can perform both functions. In particular, the system and method can detect specific gases and at specific concentration levels by way of a sensory- power circuit. The circuit performs vapor detection and provides power to various ignition-related portions of the appliance. When gas or gas vapors are detected in the ambient air of the circuit and satisfy a threshold for that particular type of vapor, the circuit is shorted which results in a power loss to at least the ignition--related portions of the appliance. As a result, undesirable ignition of such vapors is mitigated.

Abstract: Pain factors are labeled with targeted agents or markers delivered into the body. The labeled pain factors are imaged with appropriate imaging tools in a manner allowing selective identification and localization of areas of pain source or transmission. The labeled pain factors allow spatial differentiation in the imaging sufficient to specify the location of the pain so as to drive therapeutic decisions and techniques in order to treat the pain. Pain factors labeled and imaged in this manner may include one or more of nerve factors, blood vessel factors, cellular factors, and inflammation factors. Labeled markers may include for example radioactive materials (e.g. tritiated or iodinated molecules) or other materials such as metal (e.g. gold) nanoparticles. Intermediary binding materials may be used, such as for example bi-specific antibodies. Therapeutic components of the system and method include for example localized energy delivery or ablation treatments, or local drug or other chemical delivery. Locations containing pain factor selectively bound by targeted agents are selectively treated with directed energy into a region containing the targeted agent bound to the pain factor.
